TEE CHOICE

All tournaments are played from White tee’s

If you decide to change, this tournament, the team (both players) must play from the same tee

GOLD/WHITE or BLUE

 

There are many facets of the game that contribute to one’s score including distance, course management, iron play, chipping and putting. As much as we would like a black and white and fair criterion to dictate the tees that players can play in association events, we have struggled to find one. All players are different and we have established the following criteria for 2023:


GOLD TEE

You may play if you fall under any of these 2 qualifications

  • 60 years old and index of 14.5+
  • Or, Index below 14.5 with an average 5 iron distance of 155 yards or below with officer approval (USGA guidance based on gold distance)

 

BLUE TEE

  • Open to all members that do not play the gold tee in any events (if players require the gold distance accommodation they cannot play the back tees.)
  • Suggested for players with an index of 14.7 or below to target bogey or better play

 

HANDICAP

 Handicap calculated AS OUTLINED BELOW

This also determines team flight

The goal is 100% Best Ball, 33% team scramble & 50% Alternate

The software is not set to do multiple handicaps for 18.  we use GG guidelines to set handicaps. 

The maximum handicap for this event is 30.  PBGA uses the World Handicap System. WHS requires full precision to be maintained in intermediary calculations. Rounding is performed only once and as the last step.  

Members without a handicap will be assigned by the committee.

Players are encouraged to sign up as single and we can look for a partner.
